It is a tough job, copy editing.
Did the reporter send a hard copy, or e-mailed it? If he or she used a computer, it would have 'questioned' their grammar.
Of course, even computers may sometimes offer wrong choices - depending on where they were manufactured - but still they help such challenged reporters.
And, would it be better if all the stories are well-written so that all a copy editor has to do is to read? Think about it.
I think it would be more boring. The contrasts - good and bad - make work interesting. Read something about the Sword of Damocles?
